" Officials have also been in contact with area hospitals as to what will be done if the detainee does show symptoms."
The phrasing in that statement is repeated here:

"The sheriff’s department contacted the CDC after they found out she’s from Liberia, which has been dealing with the Ebola virus.
The woman has not shown any symptoms.
Jail officials say they’re monitoring the woman twice a day.
They say they’re also in contact with area hospitals so they know what to do if any symptoms appear.
The woman is expected to be deported."
"they" are in contact with hospitals for directions on what to do if detainee tests positive.
"They"/"Officials" are in contact with "hospitals" . . .not the CDC, not Federal officials determining protocol for Ebola? Does ANYONE believe/trust anything this administration says?
oh boy - It’s getting interesting...
Maybe the woman flew in to see the wonderful city of the Preseident...and perhaps meet him down South Chicago!
The Red Line will take on a whole new meaning...glad I moved out last month!!!
Well it sounds like some folks up there in Kenosha have some common sense. That’s refreshing.
Riddle me this. How does this person landing at O’Hara get transferred to a neighboring county in another state?
Ping.
Hidden nugget: Local officials can apparently detain illegal Liberians, but not Mexicans.
“As for how she got into this country or why she’s being sent back — we do not have the answers for that yet.”
Because Liberia is doing such a fine job of screening travelers...
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
There are some excellent, scary and unanswered replies/questions by astute Freepers in this post.

This is extremely weird. Kenosha County is in Wisconsin.
